NEW YORK VIEW
Teona Strugar Mitevska’s confident direction is the main reason to watch this stark, occasionally gripping tale of a 25-year-old girl who returns to her native Macedonia after years in the U.S. to find both the country and her family in shambles. The film is light on story, but the gritty, no-nonsense filmmaking keeps things moving, and Mitevska’s tale has an undeniably touching cumulative effect.
